Is something wrong?

Iluvjuby · 06-23-2008, 03:44 PM

My implants (silicone) are two years old and have not had any trouble with them but the other night I was lifting something heavy and when I got through my right breast started hurting I started feeling it and it felt much softer (its always been the softer one) it almost looks like it dropped more. My concern is did it rupture? I have no pain now or hardness it has been a couple of weeks. What do you think?

If you have saline implants and your breast size is smaller on that side, there may be a chance that the implant has ruptured (although unlikely at only two years). If you have silicone gel, then it is difficult to determine rupture by physical exam. I would suggest returning to your original surgeon for an evaluation. It will put your mind at ease at the very least.
